passes) the editors when they go any
where will have to walk. We do not |
care so much for ourselves for we enjoy |
a walk when the weather is good, but |
we do very much pity our young |
friend of the Record who had rather |
ride than walk, no matter how good |
the weather may be.
H. R. Mustard & Co., who are ready
to start up have made considerable
changes in the mill this Spring in the
way of improved machinery and en-
larged space both for making and stow
ing baskets. The mill now has the
capacity to make between this and the
end of the peach season about
1000 900 of baskets.
THE bright sun of Monday started
the herring on the run and some of
them got clear to this town-in a
wagon. A farmer who relishes fresh
herring as a bOny delicacy bought
dozen, for which he paid 80 cents.
Holding the little bunch up he remark
ed, " there is nearly bushel of corn"
and he left cOgitating on the inequality
of prices.
In anticipation of peach crop one
of the largest growers of the Peninsula
has given Lewis & Price an order for
fifty tons of Peach Tree Phosphate for
immediate application to his orchards.
He is fully up with the times in know
ing the demands of peach trees to keep
them healthy and make them pay and
those who follow his example in fertil-
izing their trees will be'wise.
YESTERDAY and to-day must be of
the number which March, so the fable
! goes, borrowed of April to "kill the
old cow" Monday the mercury was

mOring it is down to the March notch,
four degrees below the freezing point,
with the ground too crusty for the plOw-
man and the gardener The Bureau
however promises us better weather
